Summary of Professional Projects

Created an internal data hosting information system opening a new recurring revenue stream averaging over $2 million annually

Business need: to track over 150 TB of customer data hosted internally on our high-performance SAN to enable billing monthly for secure hosting
Created this application as an onboarding project and developed it to become one of the software team’s premier internal software products
Designed the application to be workflow-independent, configurable, and automatable to enable users to spend minimal manual effort
Implemented a web UI enabling internal employees to request, rapidly inspect, compare, and manage reports, and to configure automated reporting
Implemented queue-based complex backend processing for granular reporting of billable internally hosted data on a per-customer, per-project basis
A later update that depends on a new internal web service (described next) enables automated billing from this application’s web UI
C#, .NET Framework, ASP.NET MVC, SQL Server, IIS, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, Ajax

Business need: to eliminate manual errors and save hours of manual processing by centralizing and automating monthly billing
Researched and selected the solution’s technology stack, architected and implemented the software solution, and owned its ongoing SDLC
The service exposes a REST API and logs, validates, transforms, and submits automated billing charges by consuming the ERP’s SOAP API
Created an HTTP client library for client applications to reference allowing them to interact with simple POCOs to consume this internal web service
Deployed a standalone (on-premises) Azure Service Fabric cluster to host the stateless reliable web service
Currently migrating this solution to Azure to support international workloads, automating resource management with PowerShell and ARM templates
C#, .NET Framework, ASP.NET MVC Core, Azure Service Fabric, web API supporting XML and JSON, NetSuite’s SuiteTalk SOAP web service and XSD

Major refactoring: removed dead code, refactored existing core functionality to reduce dependencies and enable safely adding key functionality
Implemented bulk processing in parallel enabling users to run the app unattended and reducing processing time to a fraction of the original time
C#, .NET Framework, Windows Forms, TPL, Cooperative Cancellation

Worked with the team’s architect on the design of a new fairly complex REST style web API over a server-side piece that was planned for serving various thin web UI clients

Our team was considering integrating modern web UI technologies into our existing stack in a targeted, value-based fashion
We hoped to gain benefits such as rapid UI development, prototyping, clean code, improved code reuse, and a higher degree of interactivity in our application UIs where practical
Researched general design techniques and principles such as
- server-side vs client-side rendering, mobile first design, two-way vs one-way data binding, client-side routing, client-side state management, isomorphic rendering, transpilation, JavaScript Module systems such as CommonJS, AMD, and ES6 Modules
Researched specific libraries and frameworks and development tools including Bootstrap, Node.js, React, Angular, NPM, Webpack, Babel
Prototyped an example web app with targeted integration of select web UI technologies
- An ASP.NET MVC Web App targeting .NET Framework 4.7.2 with Razor views using the following technologies that were new for our team
- Bootstrap style sheets and Reactstrap JS module for styling
- React.js written in ES6 and JSX for designing reusable JavaScript components
- NPM running Webpack using Babel for transpilation
- Fetch API for Ajax
